Someone actually picked “Charles de Gaulle” as their nom de plume? LOL

Israel as place, embodies the loftiest ideals of humankind.Unfortunately her neighbours in the Arab world,except for Egypt & Jordan, scream for her destruction. (The thoughtful person might do well to wonder why ). Her dilemma is to survive, without losing her moral standards.How easy it is to play the role of the sanctimonious ‘Moral Guide,’ far from the theatre of the conflict! Guide Israel with constructive advice by all means , but if you identify yourself with the people of Israel,the history of Israel & the collective wisdom of Israel, speak less about her , do more for her ,study more about her and do all that with Ahavat Yisrael, Love of Israel….THE KEY TO OUR CONTINUED SURVIVAL.

If there is no Master race. Then there is NO chosen people, and the “Right” of Jews to live in Israel, is no greater than the right of Palestinians to live in Palestine.

It concerns me when two, seemingly knowledgeable Jews like Stephen Cohen and Phillip Weiss imply that Jews’ only connection with Israel is via Holocaust remembrance. Shame on them! Study up and realize that Jews connection with this land goes back thousands of years. Peace with those whose primary initiative is to wipe my people off the map? I don’t see that happening, though it is a nice fantasy. Historically, they have little integrity. As for Americans who are ready to chuck Israel, please study up on how closely connected Israel’s technology is connected with our own national security. many people are naive, refusing to acknowledge how those people who hate us are ready to ride the coattails of our struggle and building of the infrastructure of the nation of Israel, from irrigation to high tech industry. Look around: There are several Arab nations surrounding Israel. Explain why they are not enough.
